Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
About us
At Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia, we are more than a great place to work – our work is life-changing. We are an inclusive and diverse group of people who, through a mosaic of backgrounds, thoughts and experiences, are united in purposeful work. We are fueled and guided by our values – values that are represented in the inspired people we work with and the transformational work we do, every day. Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia was founded in May 1983 in Pittsburgh, PA. Our first wish child, Bryan, a seven-year-old cancer patient, wanted to visit his favorite uncle in Texas for one of his famous piggy-back rides. Since then, and together with our volunteers, donors, staff and supporters, we have granted more than 20,000 life-changing wishes throughout PA and WV. The local chapter includes 57 counties in western, central and northeastern Pennsylvania and all of West Virginia. We are headquartered in Pittsburgh and have seven regional offices in Erie, Pottsville, Punxsutawney, Scranton and York, PA, as well as in Charleston and Morgantown, WV. There is nothing more powerful than making a child’s wish come true. And at Make-A-Wish, we will stop at nothing to ensure every eligible child received a life-changing wish. We believe – and research shows – that a wish gives kids the resilience, courage and strength they need to fight their critical illnesses. A wish doesn’t signify an end or one happy moment in time … a wish truly has the power to transform lives. This is why wishes matter. This is Make-A-Wish. Mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. For more information about internship opportunities, please visit https://wish.org/greaterpawv/internships.

Memories from Sahmyia's Send-Off Par-TEA!

We want to give a special shoutout to these generous vendors who donated a candy buffet, food, drinks, paper products and cookies for this celebration. Premier Wealth Partners continues to support Make-A-Wish through fundraising and countless hours of volunteering to add an extra boost to these incredible wishes that are granted.

Woke up this morning to sit at my desk and was given an instant reminder why I do what I do every day. 🌟 The Brady C. Lucas Golf Outing raised over $307K in 12 years of hosting the outing for Four Diamonds and the last 3 years to sponsor a wish for a child through Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia. 💙 On top of the money raised, family and friends constantly rallied behind each other to create life-long memories and relationships. 🙏🏻 We all need reminders and sources of inspiration. Grateful and thankful to have this special one acknowledging the BCLGO for making 3 wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses come true. ☀️ #smilesmaketheworldgoround #grow #community #giveback #philanthropy Ryan Lucas, Shaun Lucas
